By Canadians, for Canadians. Spend your money wisely.
Canadian designers offer a variety of stylish options for bathing suits and swimwear that are made in Canada. Not always cheap, but made with quality and flair. If you can ever go to the beach again, or if you’re just hanging around the pool in your backyard, do it in a Canadian-made bathing suit.
